Don a Rebel X-Wing Fighter Pilot helmet For a New VR Experience at Odeon Cinemas

You can see Star Wars Rogue One: Recon at three of the cinemas.

If you’ve failed to miss it, Walt Disney Studios will be releasing a brand new Star Wars film next week. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will launch worldwide on 15th December, and for UK fans they’ll be able to get a special virtual reality (VR) preview at select Odeon cinemas.

Walt Disney Studios has teamed up with cinema technology company RealD and ILMxLab to create a VR experience where they wear a Rebel X-Wing Fighter Pilot helmet for an immersive preview of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Once seated and wearing the pilot helmet users will enter a VR world, where they can watch the trailer in 3D, or experience Rogue One: Recon: a fully immersive 360-degree experience created by ILMxLAB. Rogue One: Recon builds directly into the storyline of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, putting users in the cockpit of an X-Wing. Starting as a routine mission the experience takes a sharp turn as viewers stumble upon unexpected Imperial presence, and they’ll do anything to keep their secret hidden.

If you’re interested in seeing Rogue One: Recon you’ll be able to see it at one of the following locations:
